A small proportion of pneumonia patients develop severe pneumonia, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), multi-organ failure, and can even die. Comorbidities and laboratory markers have been proposed for risk stratification. There is mounting evidence that in critically ill patients, there are characteristics of hyperinflammation, which consist of elevated serum C-reactive protein (CRP), D-dimer, and hyperferritinemia. This lab values helps in clinical decision-making and reduction of the use of critical care in Aim and objective: Assess the patients severity and his/her prognosis infected with COVID positive patients. Materials and methods: This study was conducted as a prospective study done in RT PCR positive patients by analyzing c reactive protein, D dimer, Serum ferritin. Results: Most of the patients admitted in COVID intensive medical care unit shows elevated hyperferritinemia, elevated C reactive protein, D dimer, neutrophil lymphocyte ratio compared to RT PCR positive asymptomatic and patients with mild symptoms. This study shows that increase in serum ferritin, C reactive protein, D dimer values will helps in predict the patients need for ventilator support and were the patient could develop thromboembolic complication.
